Cooking rounds
I'm no martha stewart. What I am talking about is what U.S and fellow allied snipers have discovered during the war on terror. Which is, by allowing rifle rounds to sit in direct sunlight and "cook" allows the powder temperature to rise within the cartridge. This increase in the powder temperature will result in an increase in muzzle velocity. Thus it allows the sniper to increase the effective range of his weapon. The worlds longest sniper rifle shot was a result of this method. While the 50 caliber sniper ammo effective range is only 2,190 yards, by allowing the rounds to cook, canadian sniper robert furlong was able to kill an insurgent at 2,700 yards. So is cooking rounds a good thing? Matha stewart would think so.

To my Free Syria Army buddies
Enough with the spray and pray tactics. When you are low on ammo, every round counts and so every man must be a rifleman. Thus, everyone of you must be a marksman. So, I give you the four principles of marksmanship.
1.your position and hold must be firm enough to support the rifle.
2. the rifle must point naturally at the target without any physical effort.
3. sight alignment must be correct.
4. the shot must be released and followed through without any distubance to the position.
Learn these, practice these, and they will help you win the day.
